Claiming races

As most would know I am keen on claiming races but am continually frustrated at the inconsistency of races programmed. It seems strange to have sometimes 3 or 4 races one month and then go some months with 1 or even no races, how about some consistency in programming. Further to this I cannot understand why claimer races are treated like second class races as far as stakes go, I know for a fact it costs just as much to feed and work them but they race for much less than day to day races, surely not based on turnover I'm sure. We are the first called when holes need to be filled on raceday and rarely let clubs down. Anyway enough whingeing see you soon Roger

Roger, should there be more mobile start claimers & should we trial the high price claimers like the L.P.C did about a year ago?

i would not be against 50 50 mobile to stand claimers as long as we get consistency in programming and we can keep racing them all year round . The high price claimers were allright because at least we raced for the same money , but were they a success apparently not because the power that is has not programmed any more but we can only hope
